At its most basic level, you cannot have armored combat without armor: somebody has to make it. You cannot have a feast without food: somebody has to cook it. You cannot have a day of love and beauty without minstrels and poets: somebody has to write the poems and sing the songs. The Arts and Sciences are the infrastructure of the SCA, without which we would not exist.
At the highest level, they are the most glorious pursuits we have. They let us bring into existence a thing of beauty or use which hasn't been seen for hundreds of years. They are the means by which we reach across the centuries to clasp hands with the past.
And somewhere in between, they give us something to do.
